Hi we are new to this whole situation
3 weeks ago our beloved Nova a nearly 10 yr old American Bulldog also a very loved and spoiled American Bulldog was brought in to her vet for a lump on her backside only to have it be just fat which is fine the vet said it was nothing to be worried about but he also noticed a lump on her right front arm.
Both my mom and Stepdad play with her every day/night so they knew that wasn’t there the day prior. The lump appeared over night. So the vet did xrays wasn’t fully sure what exactly it could be so he redirected her to a specialist and after studying it on Xrays and bloodwork they know it’s cancer but not being able to take a biopsy they aren’t fully sure what kind but give she’s older it’s most likely osteosarcoma so they went further and did more bloodwork and. CT scans to see if it spread we get those results Tuesday.
We had a meeting with the docs and they feel that the best option is leg removal we are completely devastated by this news. We asked about removing the lump but the docs don’t feel that that can be done because of the close proximity to her wrist and the tumour runs along the ulnar bone. We did the CT scans and tests on Friday and are having her right leg amputated on Wednesday
sorry writing this I’m in sobs she’s our baby. How do we cope? I found your website online and ordered a book on amazon I think by your team called “Three legs and a spare tripawd basics” thank you for letting me share Nova’s story.
